CMS should draw attendance boundaries that fill existing schools and stop giving away the ones they have. If the closed schools are good enough to have Charters or other community purposes CMS should have the capacity to make them work as schools. Seems very odd that CMS would attempt to lock a new Superintendent into a development plan and not allow the new Super to direct it. Kind of a CMS snub.
